Even while I was out on Monday and Tuesday, the Cheetahs remained very busy throughout the week! Check out all of this week's
learning...
In
reading we continued with our non-fiction texts unit. We explored:
- The purpose of labels, charts and diagrams
- Schema (what we know before we read)
- Reading for a purpose
- Thinking about what we've learned as we read

- Reading to answer questions
Question: How does the table of contents help a non-fiction reader prepare to read a
book?
In writing this week we...
- Re-read our writing
- Added dialogue
- Added hooks

Question: How did you add dialogue to your story to make it more real?
In math we wrapped up our measurement and data unit by...
- Reviewing time to the hour and half hour
- Reviewing analog and digital time

Our first grade scientists continued exploring balance and motion by
completing...
